{movie} the departed (2007)

To take down South Boston's Irish Mafia, the police send in one of their own to infiltrate the underworld, not realizing the syndicate has done likewise in Martin Scorsese's multiple Oscar-winning crime thriller, including Best Director and Best Picture. While an undercover cop (Leonardo DiCaprio) curries favor with the mob kingpin (Jack Nicholson), a career criminal (Matt Damon) rises through the police ranks. But both sides soon discover there's a mole among them.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** This was better than I thought it was going to be as I'm not normally into this guy stuff, but it was such a strong story and so well done. Matt Damon is my husband and Mark Wahlberg was my first love (he turned me gay, I swear to God, it's all his fault), but Jack Nicholson is the most overrated actor in Hollywood and I don't like him at all and I'm indifferent to Leonardo DiCaprio, always have been and always will be. I will give the movie this: talk about an ending! I mean, wow!
